February Disability Resource Digest Available
The February edition of Disability Resource Digest is now available.
This month’s DRD features a profile on Canadian soldiers in court over government disability payments, and also an in-depth look at the struggles of parents in Calgary who are fighting with the Alberta government, which wants to cut funding for disability programming.
In the Accessibility section, it features a profile on a 911 call centre in Iowa which is now the first in America able to receive emergency text messages from those in distress but unable to speak.
It also continues to follow the Canadian euthanasia debate, which Canadians With Disabilities activists are fervently fighting against, and also touches on a Year in Review from the World Institute on Disability.
In the Comments section, Dana Goldstein of the Daily Beast takes on the concept of “A Future Without Down Syndrome,” while the New York Times questions whether Down Syndrome should be cured.
